Ok, so I haven't worked on CY2 (nor opened its configuration) recently because it fits my needs, so the following answers are basically from what I recall.
1) there is no way to disable an announce depending on group condition. I'll think about adding some option to do it.
2) CY2 is limited to the data provided but the client API. ATM it can't get the target class for cast spells. I might add some code to be more accurate about this if I found the heart to do so.
3) CY2 is for announcing spells you cast, not buffs or debuffs you or your teammates are undergoing. IIRC there are addons doing such things (maybe Natur Enemy Casting Bars).
I have run into small issue with CastYeller2 and LFD feature. I have custom message for group/raid and whisper on successful cast of Innervate. Problem I am running into while grouping with players from other realms is that CY2 is unable to whisper them and prints both messages in the group/raid channel (or rather prints a default message first when it fails to whisper, not even the custom one).
I use whisper mostly for RP so I could simply remove it to keep CY2 from double posting, but do enjoy that aspect of the game so I am hoping there is a different way to do it.
After some testing, it seems it was impossible to whisper (or send addon messages) to players from another realm. According to this hotfix announcement, this should be fixed.
This works fine, but I run into the problem of the whisper going off even if the target hasn't recieved hysteria (ie was out of range), so I was directed to CastYeller2 as a solution for this. I haven't been able to get it to work, some help would be appreciated.
I downloaded and setup CY2 last night and I am quite pleased with the addon. I previously used complex macros to do much of what this addon does, but with less desirable results.
While customizing it I found that I could use this addon to have my Mik's Scrolling Battle Text show me certain notifications from the CY2 addon. So I set it up to show me when a player gained Inspiration and Grace stacks from my disc priest.
My only question was this. Could you add options to have a certain announce only activate if the aura/buff, ect is on a certain list of players that you input by exact name perhaps? Or by detecting the MT targets if they are set in the default raid UI even. Although Option 1 would be better and offer more variety for others wishing similar usage. No clue if any of this is possible, but if so would be very awesome addition to a great addon!
To clarify, I would like my MSBT to show me Visuals for when my Main tank targets gain and lose inspiration and grace, but I do not want to know every single player that gets the buffs as I do tend to cross heal a lot on easier content.
Is it possible to make the announce show which spell was interrupted or which spell was spellstolen? It seems to me this should definitely be possible to implement as I can see message in the combat log that go like this:
X's W steals Y's Z (Where X and Y are player names, W is Spellsteal spells and Z is a buff).
and
X's W interrupts Y's Z (Where X and Y are player names, W is Counterspell and Z is a spell being cast by Y).
I would love to be able to post the names of the spell in my announces kind of like "[Counterspell] interrupts Lord Jaraxxus' Fel Lightning".
Hi, I have found this addon very useful and thoroughly enjoy the very comprehensive settings. I would like to request for an additional "trigger filter" for announcing based on debuff stacks.
For example, if I were a tank and, I could set an announce for the stackable debuff Gaseous Bloat. However, I would like to only announce something past my 8th stack and not before. Announces of stack 1-8 should not be made. Would it be possible to add a box "stack condition" so we could add an additional rule (say > 8)?
Is it possible to make it announce time left on cd?
Like in the "Spell failures announce" if i change that to somthing like $SPELL is on cooldown[ ${DURATION}]
I've used CY for a long time as paladin, and now i'm trying CY2. I love this addon, thanks for your great work!
But i have a question:
How does CY or CY2 annouce something when some unit BUFF finishes? for example, when i cast Divine Shield, CY2 can announce 'CAST Divine Shield on me'. When the aura finishes after 12 seconds, i want CY2 announce 'Divine Shield is gone on me'. Can it be done?
thx

Settings are:
Only Hysteria is listed in the general tab
sources tab:
sources: spellcasts
spellcasts, enabled triggers: successful instant casts
targetting: standard
outputs tab:
only whisper is checked
custom announce templates tab:
successful instant casts is selected and the text is:
Hysteria on $TARGET
<< Hysteria on YOU >>
I would like for the YOU to be replaced with the target's name so it can interact with a SCT addon such as Mik's if they have that installed.

Edit: Rebirth doesn't work either. Using v94.
